The STEP Support Programme team at the University of Cambridge are offering 'Problem Solving for Maths Interviews' webinars weekly on Wednesdays, 6th - 27th November 2024. The webinars are free of charge.

These webinars will give you some strategies for solving unfamiliar problems, and some suggestions for where you can find more problems to practice your skills. They will also cover what to expect from a Cambridge mathematics interview, the different formats they might take, and how you can prepare for them. There will be the opportunity to ask questions, and also the chance to hear current Cambridge mathematics undergraduates talking about their interview experience.

The sessions run weekly for 4 weeks and each one will have a slightly different focus.

Dates and times:

Wednesday 6th November 2024, 7pm - 8.30pm

Wednesday 13th November 2024, 7pm - 8.30pm

Wednesday 20th November 2024, 7pm - 8.30pm

Wednesday 27th November 2024, 7pm - 8.30pm

Â黨ӰԺ runs an annual series of webinars for young people applying to study at Oxford and Cambridge who attend a state (non fee paying) school or college in Coventry, Warwickshire, and the London Boroughs of Hackney and Tower Hamlets.

Students can sign up to these webinars through their school. For more information on these webinars, please contact schoolsliaison@clare.cam.ac.uk. To explore other support we offer to young people in these areas, please visit this page.

If you are an applicant who does not live or study in these areas, we recommend getting in touch with your area's assigned link College to find out what support is available to you. You can find contact details for your area .

Please note: interviews at Â黨ӰԺ for all subjects, including Medicine, are conducted by two interviewers. Candidates are not interviewed one-on-one. This video was produced in October 2021 with Director of Studies Prof Phil Jones and current student Molly as an example of the types of questions an applicant to Medicine might be asked.
